A pretty fascinating period in the Swan's history - powerhouse singing from every voice here! The move into pure hard Gospel was inevitable when they came to Specialty and here Jeter's vocal hands here include Paul Owens, Solomon Womack, Dewey Young and the irrepressible Robert Crenshaw. Crenshaw was a short-timer due in part to his tendency to 'go off' a little too easily and to challenge Jeter in the upper registers.
As is always the case when talking about the Swan Silvertones, this is some seriously powerful stuff for your Sunday Gospel Hour.

Many thanks for the Swan Silvertones!
One of my most treasured collections - powerhouse is the word.
Great gospel album. Many thanks, KC.
Was wondering if you know who the lead singer on My Rock was. I first heard a sample of it on Microsoft Encarta back in 95! I was floored by his voice. They were all incredible, but the way he crooned with this beautiful sweet voice before going into this belting high range soul was something to behold!
